neighbors for blocks around, and filled the
leaves of cherry tree near by as full OF
holes as a skinner.
Then thought Of Tom, into whose face
had snapped the gun. The fact that the cap
had become damp alone prevented the gun

Though his after life was fizzle, and he

less withs firearms.
One more circumstance occurred after /
had grown 10 manhood. was standing on
a pile of lumber busily engaged in measur-
ing lumber, when, hearing ''click' be-
hind me, turned, aud there stood a boat
man pointing IN army musket squarely at
my head, aud sighting along the barrel.
The muzzle Of the gun was only six feet
from my head, aud he just snapped il at me.
He was a man 80 years old, and, under the
first angry impulse that came over me,
said
''You old fool, you ought TO know better
than 10 snap a gun at "A fellows head I'm
that careless way"
"Aw, phaw - said he 'iti sn't loaded"
"How do you know that %
because it has been lying around my
boat for more than six months, and know
it isn't.
That's just the reason yOn don't know
anything about ii, said /.
"wall, now, you're making such fuss
about it, I'm going TO get cap. and show
you. Here hold the gun till / come back.
While he was gone ran the ramrod down
the barrel and found that it was loaded.
When he returned with cap removed
the old one and replaced il with a new one.
Pointing the gun upward l pulled the
trigger, aud a report followed the recoil
from which nearly knocked me off the
lumber pile and raised the boatman's hair
on end
"What do You think'now," / asked.
WELL" said he, ''that's the last time
/ shall point gun at anybody II live lOO
years"
A damp cap alone saved me that time,
and though should not have been TO blame
yet this event would have blighted my life
still more effectually than the first one, for
it would undoubtedly have blown my head
OFF my shoulders, and a man who finds |
himself in that condition can but ac-
knowledge that his life is, in measure,
blighted, and his future plans and pros
poets somewhat interfered with.
Don't fool with firearms. IL gun is |
loaded, and everybody knows it is loaded,
there is little danger. Ii is the gun aud the |
revolver which is not loaded that goes off
and kills folks, or maids them for life. So
the only safe way is TO handle them at all
times as though they were loaded.
Get into the habit of so doing, then it will |
become natural and easy to you, and you
may be spared the agony of gazing upon the
mangled form of some friend through whom |
yon have let daylight.

A pretty good story is told on Dave
Reynolds Of Reynoldsville. Dave is
droll genius and loves joke as well
as Christ Miller. while in New York
few years ago. Dave stopped at the
Continental Hotel with some other
gentlemen from his native town. Bills
of fare were placed before the guests,
and soon all were esupplied exceptDsve.
But he still sat there contemplating
the outlandish French names on the
bill of fare and trying to figure out
what it all meant. until the waiter, who
stood behind him, began to get tired
and finally asked: Well, what will
you have, Mister o Dave straighten-
ed up little, looked the waiter in the
eye, and said in distinct tones Bring

'Yes, we set him to work yesterday"
"Had any experience ?'
"Lot's of it."
"Under heavy bonds, Isuppose. Our man

OUR TEMPERANCE BANNER.
By Fred p. Hanchett.
Air-"sTAR SPANGLED BANNRR."
There's thrilling moan
MIMI sweeping our land,
M H6 From the North to the South
zXAH and from ocean to ocean.
AAThere's an answering voice
full of melody grand
IT'S Nation proclaiming,
mid all the connection
"Hear the orphans lone cry
To the Father on High!
Gather round, all We freemen!
The serpent shall die!
And our temperance banner, God wliilne'
shall wave
sO,er the land of the free and the home OF
the braye.'"
Let rs then Join the fray in the cause of the
right,
For the homes that we love and the Tempt
er's confusion.
With our eyes on the foe, let us march In our
might,
To reclaim youth and age from a curse and
deluslon.
How the land will rejoice
When the battle is done!
How the freemen will shout
When the victory is wont
And proudly the banner of temperance snai
wave
sO'er the land of the free and the home OF tne
braye.'
